RUGBY COACH HONOURS MATT GITEAU & AUSTRALIA


On the day that Australia beat England - EVERY WELSH RUGBY FAN WAS AN AUSTRALIAN!


This was also shown to be the case for a Welshman who is a Coach for the London based Rugby Union Club THE WASPS.

As told by SARRA ELGAN, on the S4C Rugby Oriented Chat Show JONATHAN, hosted by Ex-Wales Rugby International turned Sports Commentator JONATHAN (JIFFY) DAVIES.....

....When TRYSTAN BEVAN’S WIFE GAVE BIRTH ... EXACTLY AT THE SAME TIME AS MATT GITEAU SCORED HIS TRY FOR AUSTRALIA ... which helped them beat England ... which in turn enabled WALES TO GO THROUGH TO THE QUARTER FINALS ...

.....THEY DECIDED TO NAME THE BABY .... OWEN GITEAU BEVAN! :-D :-D :-D



The Baby’s Granddad, father of Trystan is experienced broadcaster, rugby commentator and retired rugby referee Alun Wyn Bevan.

As a CELT ... I'm behind SCOTLAND today, and I am already in DARK BLUE! ;-) :-D :-D :-D

Here are the Anthems for a Sing-along

AUSTRALIA (If anyone here are supporting the Aussies)

ADVANCE AUSTRALIA FAIR

Australians all let us rejoice,
For we are young and free;
We've golden soil and wealth for toil;
Our home is girt by sea;
Our land abounds in nature's gifts
Of beauty rich and rare;
In history's page, let every stage
Advance Australia Fair.
In joyful strains then let us sing,
Advance Australia Fair.

Beneath our radiant Southern Cross
We'll toil with hearts and hands;
To make this Commonwealth of ours
Renowned of all the lands;
For those who've come across the seas
We've boundless plains to share;
With courage let us all combine
To Advance Australia Fair.
In joyful strains then let us sing,
Advance Australia Fair.

Have put on a navy skirt and a 3 colours of blue top. I do hope it brings them luck. :-D

Left right, twirl, left right, twirl. Left right, twirl, left right, twirl. Left right, twirl, left right, twirl. Left right, twirl, left right, twirl. Left right, twirl, left right, twirl. Left right, twirl, left right, twirl. Left right, twirl, left right, twirl. Left right, twirl, left right, twirl.

Scotland Scotland Scotland

SCOTLAND

O FLOWER OF SCOTLAND


O flower of Scotland
When will we see your like again
That fought and died for
Your wee bit hill and glen
And stood against him
Proud Edward's army
And sent him homeward
Tae think again

The hills are bare now
And autumn leaves lie thick and still
O'er land that is lost now
Which those so dearly held
And stood against him
Proud Edward's army
And sent him homeward
Tae think again

Those days are passed now
And in the past they must remain
But we can still rise now
And be the nation again
That stood against him
Proud Edward's army
And sent him homeward
Tae think again

They are out!

Greig Laidlaw, Scotland's Captain has led out The Scots

Captain Stephen Moore, leads out Australia

IT'S HIS 100th AUSTRALIAN CAP

Also for fellow team mate MATT GITEAU

Congratulations both :-) :-)
